Acts 16
1 And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek, —
Pawluh ja Tilah cun Derbe ja Luhtarah citki xawi; acua Timoti ngming naki khritjan mat veki; ani cun jumeikia Judah nghnumia cakpaa kyaki, a pa cun Krika kyaki;
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
Ani cun Luhtarah ja Ikoniha vekie naw jumeiki ti lü ania mawng cun pyenkie.
3 The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek.
Pawluh naw ani cun ami hlawnga ami cehpüi vai a täng. Acunüng, acua vekiea Judahea phäha, a vun a mawihsak, a pa Krika kyaki tia ami van naw ami ksinga phäha kyaki.
4 And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem.
Mlüh naküt üng cit hü ni lü, Jerusalema angvaie ja ngsä he naw ami mkhyaha jah läklam vaie cun jumeikie üng ani jah mtheh.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
Sangcime cun jumnak üng khäng u lü a mhnüp tä se nung law dämdämkie.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw Asah hne ngthu sang vai am ti se, Pharikih hne ja Kalatih hne avan üng cit hüki xawi.
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
Mutih ng'yü pei ani pha law ja, Bithunih hnea lut khai xawia büki xawi, acunsepi, Jesuha Ngmüimkhya naw am a jah cehsak.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
Mutih khe ni lü, Taros da citki xawi.
9 And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: —A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying—Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!
Mthana Pawluh naw mdannak üng Maketawniha khawa ka khyang mat ngdüi lü, “Maketawniha khawa law lü, jah kpüi lawa” tia, nghui na se a hmuh.
10 Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them.
Acuna mdannak a hmuh law päng ja, ami veia thangkdaw pyen khaia Pamhnam naw jah khüki tia ksing ni lü, Maketawniha hnea ceh vaia kami ngtünki.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
Taros üngkhyüh mlawng am cit u lü, Samotarat kami citki, angawi üng Nepoliha kami cit be tüki;
12 and, from thence, unto Philippi, —which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days;
Acun üngka naw Philipih mlüha kami citki, acuna mlüh cun Maketawniha khaw üng mlüh mata kya lü, Romah mlüh ktung üngkaa kyaki. Acuna khaw üng khawvei kami veki.
13 and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, —and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.
Sabbath mhnüp üng, khaw kpunga cit u lü, tui caye da, Judahea ktaiyünaka hnüna vekia kami ngaih. Acua ngaw lü, ngbäm lawki hea nghnumie veia ngthu kami pyenki.
14 And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul.
Acunüng, Lidia ngming naki, jihsen jawiki, Tuhtirah khawa ka, Pamhnam jumkia nghnumi mat naw kami ngthu ngja lü, Pawluha ngthu pyen cun aktäa ngai khaia Bawipa naw a mlung a mhmawng.
15 And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying—If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
A im khyawng avan naw Baptican ami khan law päng üng, “Bawipa jumei kcangkia nami na ngaih üng ka ima kai law ua” tia, jah nghui na lü a jah mtheh.
16 And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us, —who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining.
Mhnüp at üng ktaiyünaka hnüna kami ceh k'um üng, mpya nghnumica mat malam pyen lü ngjoki kami khyum. Acuna nghnumica cun Ngmüimkhya kse naw a mahpa phäh malam pyen lü ngui khawh yahki.
17 The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying—These men, are servants of the Most High God, —who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.
Acun naw Pawluh ja keimi jah läk law lü, “Hina küikyannaka lam ning ja mtheh lawki he cän hlüngsäihki Pamhnama mpyae ni” ti lü, ngpyangki.
18 And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said—I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.
Acukba khaw mhnüp khawvei veki. Acukba kyase Pawluh naw am ngja law hlü lü, nghlat sihki naw, Ngmüimkhya kse üng, “Jesuh Khritawa ngming am ka ning mthehki, a k'um üngka naw lut law” a ti ja lut lawki.
19 And, her masters, seeing that their hope of gain had gone out, laying hold on Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market-place, unto the rulers;
Acunüng, a mahpae naw, ami ngui suinak päihki tia ksing law u lü, Pawluh ja Tilah jah man u lü, khyang ngkhämnak, angvaiea veia ami jah cehpüi.
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
Romah Bawiea veia ja cehpüi u lü, “Hi xawi hin Judah khyang xawia kyaki xawi, kami mlüh jah khuimkha lawki xawi,
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
Ami naw mi thum kpetki thumcam jah mtheikie. Mimi cun Romah khyanga mi kyaki. Amimia bilawh cun am mi läk dat vaia thum pyeni xawi” ami ti.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;
Acunüng khyange cun Pawluh ja Tilah jah pawh khaiea ngkhäm law hngakie, bawie naw ani kcu ja suisak u lü, cung am jah kpai vaia ngthu ami jah pet.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
Khawvei ami jah kpai päng lü, thawngima ja khyumkie naw, thawng ngvai naw ngängki am, üp ye khaia a ngäng vaia ami jah mtheh.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
Acukba mtheh u se, thawngim ngvai naw, thawngima ak'um säisäiha ja khyumki naw, ani khaw cun khyaw üng a jah khun.
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
Acunsepi, Pawluh ja Tilah cun, mthana Pamhnama veia ktaiyü ni lü, ng’äi mcuk ni se, thawngim üng kyum hngakie naw ami jah ngaih.
26 And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, —so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.
Angxita ngkhyü ngsün law se, thawngima hnün pi ngsün lawki; acunüng, ksawh naküt nghmawng law se, khyange ami jah khihnake cun ngsutei law päihkie.
27 And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.
Thawng ngvai cun a ihnak üngkhyüh tho lawki, thawngim ksawhe nghmawng u se jah hmu lü, thawng kyume dawng päikiea ngai lü, a kcim lo lü hnimei khaia ngtängki.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
Acunsepi, Pawluh naw, ngpyang lü, “Käh thawna; kami van hia kami veki ni” a ti.
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
Thawng ngvai naw meikdäi akjanga jah kthäh lü, kyühei lü ngkhyet lü, Pawluh ja Tilaha hmaia kawpki.
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
Kpunga jah cehpüi lü, “Saja xawi aw, küikyannak ka yah vaia i ka pawh khai?” a ti.
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
Ani xawi naw, “Bawipa Jesuh jumeia, acunüng, namät ja na khuiim khyawng lawnge maha küikyannak nami yah khai” ani ti.
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
Acunüng, a veia ja, a ima vekie naküta veia Bawipaa ngthu ani pyen.
33 And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot;
Acuna mthan, acun naji üng jah cehpüi lü, ami jah kpainaka ani nghmae cun a jah mthih pet; acunüng, amät ja a khuiim khyawng lawng ami ngkhä Baptican khankie.
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
A ima ja cehpüiki naw, jah khin na lü, Pamhnam ami jumei lawa phäha, amät cun a khuiim khyawng lawng ami van am aktäa jekie.
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
Khaw a thaih law ja, Romah bawie naw, “Acun xawi jah khyah ua” tia, jee ami jah tüih.
36 And the prison-keeper reported the words unto Paul—The magistrates have sent, that ye be let go. Now, therefore, going forth, be taking your journey in peace.
Acunüng, thawng ngvai naw, Pawluha veia, “Bawie naw, ning ja hlät khaiea, khyang jah tüi lawki he ni; acunakyase, atuh lut law ni lü, dim’yenak am cit nia” a ti.
37 But, Paul, said unto them—Beating us, in public, uncondemned, men that are Romans, they thrust us into prison; —and, now, by stealth, are they thrusting us forth? Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out!
Acunsepi, Pawluh naw, “Romah khyanga kami kyaki, kami mkhyenak am ve xaki ami jah kpai u, thawngim üng ami jah khyum; atuh anghmüa jah ktäm khaiea bükie aw? Acukba am kya sawxat khai; amimät Romah ngvaie law u lü, jah hlät law u se” tia, je ngvai ani jah mtheh.
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
Je ngvai naw, acuna ngthu cun Romah ngvaie ami jah mtheh; acunüng, Romah khyanga kyaki xawi tia jah ksing law u lü, kyühei lawki he naw;
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
va cit u lü, ja mcäikie naw, jah nghui na be u lü, thawng üngka naw jah hlät u lü mlüh cun ani cehtak vaia ami jah mtheh.
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
Acunüng, thawngim üngka naw lut law ni lü, Lidia ima citki xawi; jumeikie jah hmu ni lü, jah dim’yesak ni lü, cit beki xawi.
